loving flickr
the pics the friends the fun....
Im not a photographer..
my real medium is cloth im a designer and dressmaker by trade..
sad salesman by day....
but hey we have to earn a crust to buy music films n stuff....
lover of life and good times..
my pics are not art but a daily extension of my life and feelings.........
i wish that flickr had been around in my younger years ..
i was a bit of a wild thing who lived for partying and clubs..
i spent my youth dancing in clubs in englands cities..
would have loved to share those times with my flickr friends....
never mind now i live in the north of england in the country side surrounded by the sea and mountains......
please do not invite me to groups that incite violence,hatred and racism....
my political views are just that mine and i dont feel the need to air them here on flickr.......
but i will make it clear here on my profile......
every one has the right to live thier lives just how they see fit......
my concience truly is my guide.....
kudos peace and respect to all is my motto.........

How humble and yet there's a pride of stance. Every color, every moment, every comment and every message are intertwined to convey the need for peace. Peaceful moments are precious and they are found in looking at the works of Andi's camera lense. As life tumbles us like a laundry drying machine, how relieving it is to take just one quick glance at his pictures. Imagine how you feel if you take more than a quick glance!
Read lessAndrew certainly has posted some excellent photos to Flickr, and is also doing an excellent job in the groups he is an admin for. I have posted some of his photos as personal favorites and have also chosen photos of his as Admin Faves in the Flower Close-Ups group, one of 34 groups I originally started. :-)
One of the most influential British males on my photography world, the photographs of this pioneering punk prince have married gothic tones to nature, creating a new-romantic framework. And let us not forget Oscar ... gloomyheart's golden sidekick. When sight and sound are in harmony ~ Andi's camera goes click.
You are my primary inspiration to get a GOOD camera and get out there and use my imagination. That one web photo...I can't get it's beauty out of my head. I'm sorry I lost your comment on my photo. I lost it because I made the photo larger. Sorry Andi! Traci
Andi, I love your photos. They are full of imagination!
How many people can be so direct and sincere in this world? Too few nowadays, but Andrew is one of them I think. His photos makes you feel warm in the heart because with those beautiful images come beautiful words. You trace his heart and mind in every one of them, hopefully will always do. Thanks for being there! (;
Dear Andrew and his photos are a burst of energy and color, creativity and sensitivity, warmth and life. He is such a source of comfort and cheer for me, and he never fails to make me smile with his words of wisdom, loving thoughts, and beautiful images.
I have to say, that I was trying to write this testimonial many times before. (Sorry, Andi, but it's only your fault that I couldn't ! ;-) All my tries of describing Andrew in a few words were so ... unsuccesful, because he is like a magician; just a man of hundred fabulous self portraits :-) With some little amazin… Read more
I have to say, that I was trying to write this testimonial many times before. (Sorry, Andi, but it's only your fault that I couldn't ! ;-) All my tries of describing Andrew in a few words were so ... unsuccesful, because he is like a magician; just a man of hundred fabulous self portraits :-) With some little amazing techniques he is transforming simple photo into very special work of creativity and imagination. His macros lead you stright into amazing, secret life of flowers ... or chocolates ;-) Andrew's photos have his own personal touch, own style. Inspirational, filled with feelings and emotions, just say great stories of life. Because Andi is not an artist only, he is also a wonderful man and a great friend. Andi says: "I am not a photographer". And of course it ISN'T true. Just look at his photos. Just enjoy ...
Read lessYour photos and words are truly inspirational. You have a great eye for photography and as they say, the eyes are the window to the soul... And thanks for the invite btw!
Andrew's photos are beautiful and inspire me to see the wonder in the simple things around me. He also has a wonderful sense of humor and brings such a postive vibe to flickr. I appreciate his generous comments and enjoy sharing laughs. I sort of wish I'd been partying at those English clubs with him, back in the day.
Andi is a truely gifted photographer, he's funny, genuine, inspirational and honest. The world wouldn't be quite the same without his wonderful images. Keep them coming Andi!! For those of you who don't count Andi as a contact, add him immediately you won't regret it!!
Lorsque je regarde les photographies d'Andrew je touche du doigt le paradoxe entre cet "ange" qui semble empli de tristesse et de maux et qui malgré tout ne capture, à travers ses images, que la beauté jusque dans l'infime... Alors pour tout cela, tes maux, ton talent, ton altruisme et ta tristesse, j'aime ce que tu n… Read more
Lorsque je regarde les photographies d'Andrew je touche du doigt le paradoxe entre cet "ange" qui semble empli de tristesse et de maux et qui malgré tout ne capture, à travers ses images, que la beauté jusque dans l'infime... Alors pour tout cela, tes maux, ton talent, ton altruisme et ta tristesse, j'aime ce que tu nous montres de toi... I will not translate this text into English, only my mother language, French, is able to translate the poetry of this homage... sorry for the nonFrench-speaking readers...
Read lessAndi is a genuine smasher and we'd all be sadder for not having him (and Oscar) around.
You can't help but like Andi! He's genuine, kind , funny,and very, very sweet. He says he's a salesman but I think people probably just visit his store to have a chat and be cheered up.....he makes the old ladies laugh and lets the children run around causing havoc....the boss doesn't mind because she's been charmed … Read more

He says he's a salesman but I think people probably just visit his store to have a chat and be cheered up.....he makes the old ladies laugh and lets the children run around causing havoc....the boss doesn't mind because she's been charmed too. So just in case you're in any doubt, visit his site, have a cup'a'tea and a chat,check out his great pictures and soon you'll find you've made a new friend :)
Read lessThe two best Internet-oriented offerings from England right now are, in my opinion, 1. The BBC 6, and 2. Andi It's a total win-win situation. Andi is a photographer of civilization, doing the peoples' work in his spare tyme.

His photos are innovative, evocative, eclectic, and electric. I love looking at his photos whenever I can. Thanks for the inspiration, andi2!
